WebSphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) is IBM's newest J2EE e-business
application development tool. WSAD, based on the open-source Eclipse tools
platform, offers the e-business application developer a number of
capabilities, including Web application development and testing, XML
development and testing, and Web services development and testing, the focus
of this article.
WSAD supports all phases of Web service development, including the initial
development of components such as JavaBeans or Enterprise JavaBeans, the
transformation of those components into Web services, the testing of the Web
services, and the publication of the Web services in a UDDI-compliant
registry.
WSAD supports a number of models for creating Web services. For example,

SOAP-based Web services. For example, the WSAD Web Services wizard allows you

addition, WSAD can create a proxy for the RPC-based Web service, greatly
simplifying its use.
Some applications and ser-vices, such as UDDI, require the lower level of
control offered by the SOAP message-based model, upon which the RPC-based
model is built. Although WSAD doesn't yet provide automated support for SOAP
message-based Web services, it's ... (more)
